- Electric mixer
- Silicone spatula
- Plastic wrap
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Cookie sheets
- Metal spatula
- Wire cooling racks
Directions
Divide dough in half; shape into two 10-inch long logs. Roll logs in coarse sugar. Wrap each log in plastic wrap.* Chill for 4 hours or until dough is firm enough to slice.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake about 7 to 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
*Note: A great way to refrigerate the cookie rolls so they keep their shape is to use paper towel cardboard tubes. Cut the tubes down the middle, place the wrapped cookie dough rolls in them and give the tube a few rolls to form dough into a nice roll. The cardboard tubes keep the rolls from getting a flat side.
